Although Huang Zhong meant well, Zhang Liao heard it as blatant mockery.
"Huang Zhong, you scoundrel, stop with your words and take this!" Zhang Liao roared, urging his black steed, Black Wind Steed, to charge towards Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's eyes flickered, he sighed, and then urged the wildfire beneath him to meet the attack.
In the instant the two crossed paths, Zhang Liao felt a gust of wind rush towards him, which startled him so much that he hurriedly parried with his sword.

Huang Zhong swung his broadsword down with a loud clang, sparks flew, and the force of the impact made Zhang Liao's hand ache, his entire right arm went numb and sore, and he almost lost his grip on the hilt.
The two exchanged blows, and for a short time they were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao were locked in fierce combat. Zhang Liao fought with increasing ferocity, while Huang Zhong seemed somewhat distracted, as if he were thinking about something else.

"Go!"
But then, Huang Zhong suddenly drew his bow, and a sonic boom was heard, which startled Zhang Liao so much that he fell off his horse.
